With the second wave officially announced in South Africa and President Cyril Ramaphosa announcing KZN as one of the hotspots, more and more KZNers are concerned about the sanitising system at their local supermarkets. Virologist and virus hunter Prof Tulio de Oliveira weighs in on how retailers can better ensure safety for all customers. He also looked into the recent reports by Netcare - which reveal that their hospitals are full to capacity. How would we be able to track the virus interprovincially after the festive season? Can we expect large percentages of nurses to quit their jobs as is the case in Sweden? Is it possible to get the virus when fast-food is purchased? Find the answers to all of these questions in the podcast.
